"I was looking through pictures of you and found myself wondering whaT you would look like at 40. I miss and love u cousin! Time really does fly by! 18 years ago today I got off a plane and all of our worlds changed! I look forward to the day we are all reunited in Gofs house! Love you Scott!!!"

"My dearest Scott, I never had the opportunity to meet you in person but I will have the opportunity to meet you in Heaven. The people I have met is your wonderful mother and father, your sister and her beautiful family. My granddaughter Tara plays with your niece and nephews. What a joy their friendship has brought to my life. I too lost a child, my precious daughter that left us much to soon. She left behind two wonderful sons that go forward everything to further educations that would make her proud and hopefully through their choice of education will help other people. Your family has given me hope to fight the good fight and continue on with life the best I can. I pray that I can add some good to their lives in repayment for what they have added to mine. I don't think anyone should have opinions until they have walked the tragedy of losing a precious child. It leaves a hole in our very souls that only recognition and faith that would day God will fill that with the reconnection with our child. The solace is knowing you are safe and whole resting in the magnitude of our Heaven Home. I promise you never will your memory be forgotten. I live your memory through your precious family."

"Scott. I am late to wish you your big 40 birthday. We was out of town and I did not have a computer with us. We still love you and think of you so often. That hurt will never go away, it still hurts so much. I caught myself so often thinking of things I wish you was here to see and do. First of this week we was on vacation with Kim, Mark and the grandkids. They are my life now. You would love them, Jerrit, Erin, and Camden. I can see you in all of them. Love you SON until we meet again. Mom"

"Scott- I miss you and think of you often! I love you! You were the person we all looked forward to seeing! You were truly a gem....a crazy one at that! You lived your life to the fullest and were a great example of a servant! You always sacrificed your time for anyone! The life you led was a great example for us all! I love you Scott and will see you soon!"

"Scott was my cousin and friend. Losing him was the most tragic event in my life. He was the light that lite up a room. He was always smiling and laughing. God really made him extra special. I miss him, but know I will see him again."

"Scott was one of my best friends in high school. We did quite a bit together...playing basketball on his trampoline breaking a few goals and can't believe we didn't break any arms or legs (sorry Mrs. Peggy), lots of youth group stuff together with church...Kerr lake when it poured down rain and had to go back to Butner...several beach trips w/ youth group, even when Scott ran into the tree playing football (Madison was playing quarterback, it's his fault, ha, ha). Scott's funeral was the very first funeral I helped my dad with. Still hard to believe he's gone.

"Scott, we still miss you so much. Our love for you is still as strong as ever. I whish a thousand times it had been me instead of you, you was so young and has a full life in front of you. December and June is the hardest month for me. But with Gods help and the help of family and friends we continue to make it . Love you now and always, Mom"
